Subject: [PATCH v5 11/16] perf header: make write_pmu_mappings pipe-mode friendly

In pipe-mode, we will operate over a buffer instead of a file descriptor
but write_pmu_mappings uses lseek to move over the perf.data file.

Refactor write_pmu_mappings to avoid the usage of lseek and allow
reusing the same logic in pipe-mode (next patch).
